Chapter 663 Bald Alliance

After a six-hour flight, an Emirates Boeing plane slowly landed at Qatar's Doha International Airport.

Not long after, a group of people were seen walking out of the gate.

There were two people leading the group, one was a short and fat middle-aged man in a suit and tie, and the other was an old man in his sixties or seventies with middle-parted hair and wearing a pair of glasses.

Behind the two men, there were three more people, the most eye-catching one among them was a bald man.

A group of people walked out of the gate and entered the waiting hall. They looked around and seemed a little at a loss. It was obvious that this was their first time in Doha. The short and fat middle-aged man picked up the phone and made a call.

"Let's go, the car is waiting at the gate!"

After answering the phone, the short and fat middle-aged man said.

A group of people walked out of the terminal hall and saw a black high-end RV waiting at the door. The local Qatari driver got out of the car, leaned against the door, and looked at the gate. As soon as he saw them, he immediately came to greet them.

"Hello, is this Mr. Cash Harris?"

"Yes, it's me!" the short and fat middle-aged man replied quickly.

The driver extended his hand and said, "Come on, please get in the car!"

Cash Harris greeted everyone without saying a word and immediately got into the RV.

The car started quickly, drove out of Doha International Airport and headed east.

"Where is Master Huan?" asked Cash Harris.

The people behind him also showed concerned looks.

"In Crescent Bay, he asked me to pick you up." The driver replied without turning his head.

Cash Harris said "Oh". He had been to that place before. It was there that he got the authorization to help the Qatari consortium acquire Tottenham Hotspur, so now he is somewhat familiar with the place.

On the contrary, the people behind him were somewhat nervous.

Soon, they arrived at the yacht marina in Doha.

It is the International Yacht Exhibition right now, so the yacht marina is filled with luxury yachts from all over the world. The dazzling array of sights is so overwhelming that everyone in the car is dazzled.

Any one of these top-of-the-line luxury yachts is a treasure that most people dream of having all their lives. But now in Doha, they seem to be everywhere, and there are too many of them to count.

When they arrived, the driver got out of the car and asked them to walk towards one of the luxury yachts.

After instructing the yacht crew, the driver handed Cash Harris and others over to them and drove away.

We boarded a yacht at the dock, left Doha Port and headed east.

A small island can be vaguely seen on the sea ahead, and it is said that is the destination.

"Mr. Morati, that's Crescent Bay!" Cash Harris said, standing on the bow deck and pointing forward.

The old man in his seventies is the chairman of Inter Milan from Italy, Massimo Moratti.

"He bought the entire island?" Massimo Moratti was a little surprised.

Although the land in this part of the Middle East is not very valuable, Doha is the capital of Qatar, a place with a lot of money. How can the land be cheap? Especially for a small island like this one, which is isolated overseas, it is of extraordinary value.

"Yes, Master Huan said that he plans to build a hotel and resort here."

Morati could not help but nodded, "That would probably cost a staggering amount of money!"

Over the years, the Chinese have given people an image of being very wealthy in Europe and around the world, and have also acquired quite a number of Italian companies, including the famous yacht company Ferretti, which now belongs to the Chinese.

Last year, a Chinese consortium had contact with Inter Milan. Moratti even went to the Chinese capital to negotiate with the other party, but the two sides ultimately failed to reach an agreement, and even the plan to support Inter Milan in building a new stadium was not realized.

Morati knew in his heart that he had been tricked by the middleman named Huang.

What could be the possible way?

He must sell this mess of Inter Milan as soon as possible!

Although he felt a little bit reluctant about this, what else could he do?

Fortunately, the Champions League in 2010 and the subsequent Club World Cup title helped Moratti save some face and feel better.

At least, he did not bring shame to the Moratti family in Inter Milan's history, right?

As Morati pondered, Kesh Harris pointed ahead and laughed, “Here we are!”

Everyone looked up and saw the yacht slowly approaching a bay with a crescent-shaped island.

Although it is a bit far away, you can still see that there is a lot of construction going on on the island and the work is in full swing.

At the island's pier, a bright red five-star flag is hung high, representing that the island belongs to the Chinese.

Everyone on the yacht watched with amazement and admiration.

Nowadays, the global economy is in a difficult period. It is already quite difficult to come up with funds to acquire such a large island. But once the acquisition was completed, they actually started large-scale construction. How much financial resources do they need to be able to do this?

Thinking of this, Moratti looked at the Inter Milan staff around him, and they all nodded in unison.

Inter Milan is now facing two major buyers, one is from Indonesia, and the other is this young master Yang Huan.

The Indonesian consortium is not wealthy, so they are very careful in negotiations. Moreover, they have no experience in running a football club. Even if they want to acquire Inter Milan, they may have to borrow a huge sum of money from a bank.

Moratti was also wary of this because the Glazer family's acquisition of Manchester United caused the Red Devils to suddenly transform from the most successful professional team to the worst indebted team in the world.

Even if he has to sell the team, Moratti sincerely hopes that Inter Milan can find a good owner.

This is also why, as soon as he had come into contact with Cash Harris, he couldn't wait to come to Qatar, just to have a good talk with Young Master Huan and understand his views on Inter Milan.

The yacht slowly approached the Crescent Bay Pier.

Cash Harris was filled with amazement. It had only been less than two or three months, and a pier had been built on Crescent Bay. Just think about China's engineering construction capabilities, it was truly amazing.

Yang Huanzhuo stood in the office of the dock management office, looking at the group of people on the bow deck, feeling a little unexpected.

He had asked Cash Harris to release the news just to test the waters and see how the Serie A team would react.

Because he knows that many teams in Serie A are currently looking for buyers, including traditional powerhouses such as the two Milan clubs, Naples, Roma and Lazio.

But it is obvious that the valuations of some teams are a bit outrageous, such as AC Milan. Berlusconi's valuation of the Rossoneri is as high as 10 billion. My God, how stupid must one be to accept such a price?

What Yang Huan did not expect was that Cash Harris's attempt made all the owners who wanted to sell the team move. Morati even couldn't wait to take the initiative to propose to come to Qatar to meet with him.

When Cash Harris told him the news, Yang Huan couldn't believe it.

Isn't it obvious that you are going to be ripped off?

You have to know that at the negotiation table, both the enemy and us are betting on each other's psychology.

For someone like Moratti, revealing his thoughts so early would be quite disadvantageous to the negotiations.

However, Yang Huan can understand this.

As Kesh Harris said, the Morati family has long lost its glory of earlier years. In recent years, oil prices have fallen sharply, and the assets of the Morati family have shrunk rapidly. Now the total assets are only about 2 billion.

But Moratti will incur losses of about 70 to 80 million euros for Inter Milan every year.

Think about it, how many more years can Moratti continue to lose money?

Even if he is willing to hold on, can the Moratti family behind him stick with him?

So, last summer, when it was reported that a Chinese consortium was interested in Inter Milan, Moratti immediately rushed to Beijing, China, and met with a number of senior executives of the other side. However, for some unknown reason, the negotiations broke down, and ultimately Inter Milan and Chinese capital never met.

He is so anxious this time, I'm afraid he really can't hold on any longer!

While Yang Huan was thinking about all these things, the yacht came to shore.

As soon as Yang Huan saw Cash Harris and others getting off the yacht under the scorching sun, he immediately went to greet them.

"Haha, welcome to Crescent Bay, Mr. Morati!"

Yang Huan stretched out his hand from afar and put on a big smile, appearing very warm and polite.

Morati also grinned and laughed, "I'm really glad to meet you, Mr. Yang Huan!"

After the two men shook hands warmly and vigorously, Morati began to introduce people to Yang Huan.

It turned out that those who accompanied Moratti were all senior executives of Inter Milan.

One is Inter Milan's general manager, Marco Fassone.

This person is not simple.

His most famous experience was in 2006, when he took over Juventus, which had been relegated to Serie B due to the phone-gate scandal. In the following four years, he took over the power of his predecessor Moggi and led the Old Lady to a revival step by step.

It is precisely because of the solid foundation laid by Marco Fassone in those years, especially the team's transformation, that Juventus immediately demonstrated strong competitiveness after returning to Serie A.

In 2010, Fassone moved to Napoli. It was from that year that Napoli entered a peak period. The best ranking was runner-up in the league, and stars including Cavani and Hamsik emerged one after another.

Everyone recognizes that Napoli's brilliant performance in recent years is inseparable from Fassone's operation and Mazzarri's leadership.

In this situation, Moratti poached Fassone and brought him to Inter Milan to serve as the club's general manager.

Interestingly, this guy also has a big bald head.

This made Yang Huan laugh in his heart, if he really took over Inter Milan, wouldn't that mean he would be gathering the three most famous bald managers in professional football?

Southampton's Peter Kenyon, Tottenham Hotspur's Daniel Levy, and Inter Milan's Marco Fassone can almost form a bald alliance!

This is bound to become a great anecdote for people in the circle!

Another person who came with Moratti is also a top talent, Marco Branca!

All fans who are familiar with Inter Milan will remember this Inter Milan executive. His proudest deal is of course the classic deal of exchanging Ibrahimovic for Eto'o with Barcelona.

In addition, he did not follow Mourinho's request, but insisted on the transfer of Lucio, Sneijder and Diego Milito. In the end, these players all became the main contributors to Inter Milan's winning of the Champions League.

Judging from the past performance of these two generals, they are both outstanding talents, but what makes Yang Huan feel strange is why Inter Milan's situation has been getting worse and worse in the past few years?

Especially after winning the Champions League, not only did they reward players lavishly and extend contracts with many veterans at high salaries, creating a situation where the tail was too big to be cut off, but they also did a very poor job in the team's metabolism.

This is indeed quite incomprehensible!

Because it’s totally unreasonable!

But Yang Huan could only keep this doubt to himself. Even if he wanted to ask, he couldn't ask in person now!
